Thanks to everyone for the help with Sarah but I am still struggling with her husband John Brown Calder b1869. Sarah is on the 1901 census with her 2 children, Elizabeth and John (jnr) but her husband is not there. Sometime between 1901 and 1911 Sarah moved to Scotland, they are not on the 1911 census. I am trying to find the date of death for John (snr) but can't find any trace of him anywhere. I have even tried military deaths as I thought he might have been involved in the Boer War 1899-1902, but nothing there either. |

I have checked the death register from Jan 1896 to Dec 1901 and he is not there. He is not on the 1901 or 1911 census. I just don't know where to go from here! |

Have you gone onto Scotlandspeople and looked at the death for Sarah that Helen posted? The death certificate will tell you if Sarah is "married to" or "widow of" John. |

I wonder if John had moved to Scotland before the 1901 census and his family then followed him. It may be that he died in Scotland but his death was registered without using his middle name. |

Never thought of that one rootgatherer! I'll check and see if there are any matches for him in Scotland. Cheers! |

Let us know how you get on with that. Roll on 5th April when the 1911 Scottish census will be released! |

I am still digging around and can now confirm that John Brown Calder was deceased before 1919. His daughter Elizabeth was married that year and her Marriage certificate shows him as deceased. I am presuming also that he was deceased prior to 1916/17 as his son was killed in action in France and every piece of paper I have in regard to that is only addressed to his wife, Sarah. So other than waiting for the 1911 Scottish census to be released I am completely stuck! |

Not long to wait for the Scottish 1911 census - two weeks on Tuesday not that I'm counting the days you know! Already booked in to the SP Centre. |
